and that suitable means is provided for the control of the
movement of the tool along a panel surface. The length
and width of the base 11 is dependent to a certain extent
on the size of the saw.
In the following claims, the plate 12a of the saw mount

the plate 12b will be referred to as the “saw angle estab

“saw mounting plate.” It is further to be understood that
the hinge axis of the hinge 27 is on a vertical plane that
is at a right angle to the hinge axis of the hinges 20——~20.
